CVE-2005-1453  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 leafnode to version 1.11.2.rel-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream leafnode package and not the leafnode package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

fetchnews in leafnode 1.9.48 to 1.11.1 allows remote NNTP servers to cause a denial of service (crash) by closing the connection while fetchnews is reading (1) an article header or (2) an article body, which also prevents fetchnews from querying other servers.
